Sons of God (Simplified)

1 John 3:10

No one who has been born of God practices sin, because His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin continually, because he has been born of God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother and sister.

“You are sons of the Lord your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave a bald spot above your forehead for the dead. For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for His personal possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.- Deut 14:1-2

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.- Matthew 5:9

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons and daughters of God.- Romans 8:14

For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God.- Romans 8:19

 “I will call those who were not My people, ‘My people,’

And her who was not beloved, ‘beloved.’”26 “And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘you are not My people,’ There they shall be called sons of the living God.”27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the sons of Israel may be like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved; - Romans 9:25-27

For you are all sons and daughters of God through faith in Christ Jesus.- Galatians 3:26

Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba! Father!” - Galatians 4:6

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. - Luke 6:35


13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men, 15 but My lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’” - 1 Chron 17:13-16

Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.-  Luke 20:34-36

(This verse states that the Angels do not die and therefore are not the sons of the resurrection the way the sons of this age who parry and are given in to marriage are, in contrast to the Angels that do not marry )

According to ALL Of these passages, The sons of God are those who are of obedient faith in Christ, Yeshua.  In every instance of these passages the sons of God ( and daughters) are human people, and not any type of angelic beings. 

5For to which of the angels did He ever say,

“You are My Son,

Today I have fathered You”?

And again,

“I will be a Father to Him

And He will be a Son to Me”?- Hebrews 1:5

If the answer to this question is that He called ANY angels son, then the answer is that Angel. Except He never calls any angels son. The context of this is that Yeshua is the Messiah, but the point still stands that if any angel is called son, then the meaning becomes nonsense. 


10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven. - Matthew 18:10
 
If the Angels are continually before God then why would they have to take a special appearance to be before Him if we were to read Job as being about the Angels instead of obedient faithful believers appearing before God? 

Job 1
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.
Job 2
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord.


Who are these sons of God? As all the scriptures above pointed out, They are the faithful people of God. Why are they appearing before God? Because they are commanded by God to do so at the appointed times 

14 “Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me. 15 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt. And no one is to appear before Me empty-handed. 16 Also you shall keep the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field. 17 Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord God. Ex 23:14-17

23 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. 24 For I will drive out nations from you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the Lord your God.  Ex 34:23




So through out scripture the faithful are sons of God, The faithful are to appear before God at the appointed times unlike the Angels which are always before Him. The faithful are the ones that marry in this current age, unlike the Angels who do not die. 


Keep that all in mind when you read Genesis 6 and it says that the sons of God took wives, and then it resulted in violence. 

Deut 32The Rock! His work is perfect,

For all His ways are just;

A God of faithfulness and without injustice,

Righteous and just is He.

5“They have acted corruptly against Him,

They are not His children, because of their defect;

But are a perverse and crooked generation.

Fallen Angels cannot be called sons of God because they are defective.
